About Sussanne Khan
Sussanne Khan has practised the art of design for 15 years. She is the founder of India’s leading conceptual interior design store, “The Charcoal Project”. The store came to life in 2011 and changed the meaning of curated interior design in India. The Charcoal Project is also a design studio that undertakes projects in interior design across the world.
A victim of a curious mind, Sussanne used her imagination and talents to create diverse design stories inspired by the history of art and architecture through the ages. Her signature is a seamless blending of industrial masculine tone with feminine classical shabby chic.
Sussanne Khan obtained an Associate Art Degree in Interior Design from Brooks College, Long Beach, California in the year 1995 and designed her first project in 1996 with a belief that luxury is about emotion and design is a tool.
In 2012, Sussanne, along with PreetaSukhtankar, founded thelabellife.com where she continues to lend her years of design experience to the e-commerce site as the style editor – House and Home. Soon followed a prestigious collaboration with YOO in 2015 where the international design company founded by international property entrepreneur John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck in 1999 welcomed her as one of the Creative Directors alongside Jade Jagger, Steve Leung among others.
Today, she straddles the world of fusion architecture, interior design play and original product design. All these disciplines always remain true to her foundation philosophy ‘It’s all in the details’. She coined a unique term that best describes her efforts in creativity “To charcoal”, or in other words, “To make a thing come alive”.
Sussanne’s design projects include private residences, retail spaces, corporate offices, destination villas and architectural concepts.
